About the Journal
MANTRA: Journal of Educational Community Outreach & Practice (MEOP) is dedicated to publishing high-quality research, case studies, program evaluations, and practical insights that advance knowledge and practice in education. While the journal welcomes contributions addressing education broadly, it emphasizes initiatives and studies in early childhood education, primary education, and non-formal learning. Articles may explore developmentally appropriate practices, play-based and child-centered learning, curriculum design, and holistic development for young children, as well as innovative teaching strategies, literacy and numeracy interventions, inclusive education, and teacher professional development in primary education. In addition, the journal highlights non-formal and community-based learning programs, such as outreach initiatives, experiential learning, and programs promoting access, equity, and social inclusion. Cross-cutting themes include educational innovation, pedagogical technology, cultural and social dimensions of learning, and collaborative practices between schools, families, and communities. By bridging theory and practice, MEOP aims to share knowledge and inspire impactful educational programs that support the growth, learning, and empowerment of children across diverse contexts.
